WHAT THIS IS FvwmDecorDemos is a collection of fancy window borders for FVWM. It's meant to drop into an existing FVWM configuration while disturbing it as little as possible. Given the variety and complexity of FVWM configurations, that can't really be automated. You'll have to add a line or two to a file or two. REQUIREMENTS The fancy decors will work without, but in order to use the color-picker, you need a couple of things. - wish, to execute the pixelcapture GUI - grabc, a small program that pixelcapture uses to get the pixels. You can probably get these by installing packages: tk grabc CONTENTS Here's what the package consists of: - decor-startup.fvwm, which defines functions and variables - around 30 decor files specifying the window borders and related UI elements - a popup menu to load the decors and functions - a directory of small grapical files for the window buttons and borders - pixelcapture,tcl, a script to capture pixel colors from the background INSTALLATION In your .fvwm configuration directory, unpack the FvwmDecorDemos tarball: $ gtar zxf FvwmDecorDemos.tar.gz CONFIGURATION There are 3 edits you need to do: - In your main configuration file, add this line after where Styles are defined, since it will amend some of them. + I Read $./decor-setup.fvwm - If you want to use the color picker, in your main configuration file add this line to your StartFunction so that pixelcapture.tcl can talk to fvwm + I Module FvwmCommandS - In one of your menus, typically the one that selects backgrounds and so on, add the line + "Decors" Popup FancyDecors NOTES about FvwmCommand If you have both fvwm2 and fvwm3 installed, there's a possibility of getting the wrong version of FvwmCommand, because whichever fvwm is running just grabs the first one from your PATH. I do my best to guess the right one, but if you consistently get broken-pipe errors from pixelcapture.tcl, look at the function PickColorsFromBG in decor-setup.fvwm. You can edit the Exec to use the right path for your installation. Some versions of fvwm3 have Fvwm3Command instead of FvwmCommand, so you'd substitute the command name accordingly. TRANSPARENCY A few of the decors are all about transparency. I put them in their own section at the bottom of the menu. To see them in all their glory, you need to have a compositor running. If you use a session manager like gnome or mate, it's probably running. Otherwise you can start it by hand. On my Linux distro, the compositor is called "compton."
